Nunatsiavut Government takes issue with comments made by Labrador MP Yvonne Jones

The Nunatsiavut Government says MP Yvonne Jones spoke out of turn about recent tragedies in Labrador. Earlier this week, Jones told CBC News that she’s troubled by three recent suicides in Labrador — all of which occurred within about a week. Jones said QUOTE “These young people come from very stable homes” and she says… “They have very supportive and loving family members around them.” Those words have Patricia Kemuksigak very concerned. She’s Nunatsiavut’s Minister of Health and Social Development. She spoke with Labrador Morning reporter John Gaudi.
